Where to go in Top End: Darwin, Kakadu & the Kimberley

Kununurra

Kununurra means ‘big water' in the local Aboriginal language and the town is the gateway to some of Western Australia's best natural attractions. From here visit the Purnululu National Park and Bungle Bungle Range.

The Kimberley

One of the last great wildernesses on Earth, the Kimberley’s vast and ancient landscapes offer a true escape into nature. Discover the World Heritage-listed Bungle Bungle Range, marvel at the dramatic Horizontal Waterfalls, and cruise along winding rivers framed by towering gorges.

Arnhem Land

Of staggering size – 91,000 square kilometres – and filled with varied landscapes, Aboriginal-owned Arnhem Land is well worth spending some time in. In the middle of Australia’s northern coast, its boundaries are beautiful ones: Kakadu National Park, the Arafura Sea and the Gulf of Carpentaria.

Katherine & Nitmiluk Gorge

Often described as the place where ‘the Outback meets the tropics’, Katherine and the Nitmiluk Gorge area is home to diverse landscapes and unique ecosystems that set the scene for adventure activities like fishing and four-wheel driving, canoeing and camping, bushwalking and bird watching.

Kakadu National Park

Kakadu National Park is acknowledged as Australia's most diverse and stunning landscape and offers real outback adventure travel. Kakadu lies roughly 170km south-east of Darwin in the Northern Territory.
